While the VDS ratings are not always a true indicator of real life with a car, they are still a valuable shopping tool for consumers and manufacturers take them very seriously.

Perhaps most amazing to us here in The Garage is that 2 of the top 3 are traditional domestics. Lexus has fewest problems, followed closely by Mercury and Buick. Bringing up the tail end of the list is Land Rover, with almost 4 times the problems reported by Lexus owners!

The folks over at AutoMotoPortal have compiled a list of the 10 most expensive cars in the world. While I haven’t researched to make sure they’ve got it all right, it looks like a pretty good list to me although they may have misplaced a car or two. How much is a Saleen S7 going for these days? Of course topping the list is the Bugatti Veyron at a paltry 1.7 mil.
Here they are:
#1. Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000
#2. Ferrari Enzo $1,000,000
#3. Pagani Zonda C12F $741,000
#4. Koenigsegg CCX $600,910
#5. Porsche Carrera GT $484,000
#6. Mercedes SLR McLaren $455,500
#7. Maybach 62 $385,250
#8. Rolls-Royce Phantom $320,000
#9. Lamborghini Murcielago $279,900
#10. Aston Martin Vanquish $255,000
